<i>&gt; I've got a Logitech PageScan Color, through a parallel interface. Is there </i><br>
<i>&gt; any support for this through SANE? Is there any support other than SANE for </i><br>
<i>&gt; Linux? I've seen drivers for the ScanMan through a specialized interface </i><br>
<i>&gt; card, but this doesn't seem to work for the PageScan.</i><br>
<p>
No - it can't due to the very design (I wrote it). Logitech seems to adhere to <br>
its policy not to release source or documentation.<br>
<p>
You might want to step on their nerves until they either do one of the above<br>
or agree to write SANE drivers themselves. As SANE can easily incorporate <br>
binary drivers, they might agree, though I do not think they actually would<br>
spend any money in supporting an OS which has "only" a few percent of the <br>
market.<br>
<p>
The other way out would be to find someone who writes a driver. The parallel<br>
port is something which is easy to monitor and hopefully the protocol spoken<br>
is not too complex, so reverse-engeneering from the data on the bus shouldn't<br>
be too hard.<br>
